Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

 

The given line graph indicates the number of female and male graduates between 1992 and 2007.

Overall, there was an increase in the proportion of graduates of Canadian universities. The figure for females was much greater over the recorded time than men’s number. Interestingly, the rising trend of curves was almost the same for both representatives.

In 1992, the number of female students who graduated university started at just below 100,000 and afterwards it began to increase until 1995. Despite a slight drop between latter time and 1998, the quantity of graduates grew considerably by 50% until 2007.

The beginning point of the sum of males who finished the university studies was around seventy thousand. The figure shows a growth by approximately 7,000 graduates until 1995 and a decline by the same number until the middle of 1998. Although there was a small variation, the figure continued to go up reaching its highest point at about 95,000 graduates in 2007.

There were a greater number of female graduates in Canada in comparison with males. Nevertheless, these figures climbed gradually at the similar rate and by showing almost the same trend from 1992 to 2007.

The line graph depicts the number of requests for information (in-person, by letter/email, and by telephone) at a UK tourist office between January and June.

Overall, in-person and telephone requests grew consistently, while letter and email requests declined slightly over the period given.

With regards to in-person requests, it began at around 410 requests in January and moved up steadily, reaching its highest point at about 1900 requests in June. Likewise, requests by telephone were below 1000 requests in January and fluctuated slightly before rising significantly from about 1000 requests in April to a peak of 1600 requests in the final months.

On the other hand, letter and email requests levelled off in the first three months (January, February, March) at around 700 requests. They, then, fell gradually from 700 requests to 390 requests from March till May before remaining stable at about 390 requests during the last 2 months.

The line graph indicates the intake of three different types of fast food by Mauritian adolescents, measured in times eaten each year, between 1985 and 2015, in five-yearly intervals.

Overall, the fried chicken and hamburgers consumed by teenagers rose gradually, while pizza consumption declined steadily over the period given.

With regards to the consumption of pizza, it was the most popular among teenagers with nearly 60 times per year in 1985 before it decreased consistently to hit a low of around 10 times in 2015, becoming less popular than other two fast foods.

On the other hand, the consumption of hamburgers was about 10 times and it increased steadily, reaching its highest point at above 70 in 2015. Likewise, fried chicken intake began at approximately 5 times in 1985 after which the figure consistently moved up year on year until 2005. It, then, remained unchanged following 5 years, from 2005 to 2010, before growing slightly to a peak of around 62 times in 2015.

The line graph shows the number of births and deaths in a European country between 1950 until the present day and future projections for 2050.

The line graph illustrates the number of births and deaths in a European country from 1950 to the present, with predictions extending to 2050.

Overall, the number of births fluctuated considerably over the period, whereas the death rate remained relatively stable until 2030 before rising sharply. It is also noticeable that births were higher than deaths at the beginning of the period, but this situation is expected to reverse by 2050.

In 1950, there were approximately 750,000 births, compared with around 690,000 deaths. The number of births then rose significantly, reaching a peak of about 1 million in 1970. By contrast, deaths increased only slightly to approximately 730,000. However, the birth rate fell dramatically over the following two decades, dropping to roughly 580,000 in 1990, while the number of deaths remained at just over 700,000 by 2010.

From 1990 onwards, birth rate recovered slightly, reaching approximately 700,000 in 2010. This figure is projected to remain almost unchanged until 2050. Meanwhile, deaths are expected to decrease slightly to around 680,000 in 2030, before increasing considerably to approximately 830,000 by 2050. As a result, the number of deaths is predicted to exceed the number of births by the end of the period.
